Tip 3 : Must practice puzzles . These are easily available in GFG and were asked directly from there.
Tip 4 : OOPs Concepts are a must. Must know basics like what are classes, objects, constructors etc. You must prepare each concept like polymorphism/inheritance with an Example. Try to explain oops with real life examples like a Student class / Blueprint Class(blueprint of a building).
